This is the first time that the Taoyuan Chinese Orchestra cooperates with Mr. Chung Yiu-Kwong. The musical composition is performed by pianist Fan-Chiang Yi and the recording was completed in June 2019. The meaning of “Confluence” is multiple. From the perspective of genre, the traditional Chinese music elements, the genre of Hakka hill songs, and the folk music of indigenous people are combined into a lively, delicate and rich melody. As to the level of the performance, not only the cultural characteristics of the diverse ethnic groups in Taoyuan, but also the phenomena of the intertwining and blending of different musical styles of various ethnic groups have been transformed and interwoven into a new musical landscape in Taoyuan. The “Hakka Overture” in the album was commissioned by the Hakka Culture Festival in 2011. The melody of the music alternates between the Hakka “Song of the Hills” and the "December Ancient Tunes" of the Hakka Minor. The atmosphere of lively and joy embodies the diverse and inclusive vitality of the Hakka ethnic group. The percussion concerto “Get out of Tujia” uses the changes in the rhythm of the percussion instrument and the majestic momentum to release the energy and vitality of Hakka ethnic and the land. Chung Yiu-Kwong is a daring, meticulous musician with clear music style. He leads the young, brave innovative Taoyuan Chinese Orchestra. In the performance, he broke through the boundaries and framework of traditional music and showed strong and professional energy in music. This is the confluence of old and new energy and generational experience. "Confluence" recorded the very moment, and passes down from generation to generation.  桃園市國樂團 Orchestra Introduction 桃園市國樂團是附設於「財團法人桃園市文化基金會」的專業樂團，董事長鄭文燦市長以「音樂城市」作為桃園市的文化特色品牌，在基金會執行長劉子琦、樂團團長林子鈺的帶領下，以音樂美學來傳達一座城市的風采、韻味、想像與自信，為桃園譜出華麗變身的序曲，讓桃園以音樂讓人心動而愛上這座城市。 桃園市國樂團成立的資歷仍新，許多來自國內各大學音樂系所畢業的團員也還年輕，但是，在音樂路上，已然擁有扎實的專業訓練與豐沛的演出經驗。尤其是一年多來與許多台灣傑出音樂家與指揮家到全國各地音樂廳的演出，不僅豐富了樂團的底蘊，也讓團員充滿活力與熱情成為形塑音樂城市風格，最堅強、最豐沛的動力。 Taoyuan City Orchestra is a professional orchestra affiliated to the "Taoyuan Cultural Foundation".

It was completed at the end of 2018. On February 23, 2019, the composer Chung Yiu-Kwon personally directed the Taoyuan City Orchestra and Fan-Chiang Yi served as a piano solo to make the premiere performance. The music is divided into three movements. The first movement is a lively allegro. The materials for the movement come from beiguan “Spring around" and the traditional Chinese music "Lao liuban". This movement can be regarded as the variations of these two themes; the orchestrator is plain and simple, but light and diversified. The second movement is a calm andante. The melody is Hakka folk song style. The third movement is an allegro full of vitality. The materials of this movement come from Atayal people's “Song Of Joy”. The motive of song of joy is deconstructed and recombined by computer. Finally, the music was pushed to the climax by beiguan's “thousand years old”. (二) 打擊樂協奏曲《走出土家》給四位打擊樂手與國樂團 鍾耀光 曲 本曲是受國立實驗國樂團（現為臺灣國樂團）委託創作，完成於2005年12月。全曲長約17 分鐘，共分二個樂章： 第一個樂章是以土家族打溜子為基本素材創作，輕快活潑。加上每位獨奏家需同時演奏多種小樂器，音色與節奏變化複雜。 第二樂章是優美如歌的中板，以键盤打擊樂器為主，緊接以氣勢磅礡的鼓樂結束全曲。 Percussion concerto “Out of Tujia” for four percussionists and the Chinese orchestra Composed by CHUNG Yiu-Kwong This piece was commissioned by the national experimental Chinese orchestra (now National Chinese Orchestra Taiwan) and completed in December 2005. The whole track lasts about 17 minutes and is divided into two movements: The first movement is created with the basic material of tujia dailiuzi, which is brisk and lively. In addition, each soloist has to play a variety of small instruments at the same time, and the timbre and rhythm change is complicated. The second movement is beautiful and cantabile maestoso, featuring keyboard percussion instruments, and concludes with the powerful, high-pitched drum music. (三) 《客家序曲》 鍾耀光 曲 本曲是為2011客家文化節委託創作，完成於2011年9 月，曲式為奏鳴曲式，二個主題分別以客家《山歌仔》及客家小調之《十二月古人調》為素材而創作。 樂曲在極安靜的氣氛下開始，簡單而純粹的旋律，充滿著安定人心的力量。優美的小調旋律，以二對三的節奏來呈現，使曲調更加俏皮活潑。最後以吹打樂展現熱鬧歡樂的氣氛，旋律交替在兩個主題之間，呈現客家音樂多元包容的生命力。 “Hakka overture” Composed by Chung Yiu-Kwong This song is commissioned by the 2011 Hakka cultural festival and completed in September 2011. The song is sonata form and two themes are created on the basis of Hakka "Song of the Hills" and Hakka minor "December Ancient Tunes". The music began in a very quiet atmosphere with simple and pure melody, which is full of calming power. Beautiful minor melody is presented by 2 to 3 syncopation to make the music more playful and lively. Finally, the winds & percussion music show the lively and joyful atmosphere, and the melody alternates between the two themes, presenting the diversified and inclusive vitality of Hakka music.
